Councillor Bouma and the OPL apologize for holding closed meetings

Oshawa This Week

Having a politician
come out and publically apologize is a very satisfying feeling. Earlier tonight
Roger Bouma and the Oshawa Public Library board apologized on television for
discussing public documents in a closed meeting, according to councilor Amy England.

The OPL also released
the consultant’s report that was a contentious issue between councilors Bouma
and England.

The OPL board has a lot of explaining to do on how they run
their meetings and I suspect, will now have to justify the cost associated with
this report.

Sometimes public pressure by the community is successful, as
we have witnessed by the comments relating to the OPL on my blog and social
media. This is a victory for the people of Oshawa, won by the good people of
Oshawa.
